The Russian hacking group ‘Fancy Bear’ has been identified operating within Serbian military structures. Reports from Gazeta Express, dated March 23, 2026, at 8:40 AM, detail the discovery of traces of this group inside the Serbian Ministry of Defense, the Military Academy, and the Military Medical Academy (VMA). U.S.
and British intelligence agencies have long linked ‘Fancy Bear’ to the Russian military intelligence service, GRU. Independent cybersecurity firm “Ctrl Alt Intel” confirmed their ability to access the servers of the Russian group during mid-March. Their subsequent analysis revealed that hackers had successfully acquired data from the email addresses of the three Serbian government institutions.
This represents a significant breach of security within the Serbian military. The Ministry of Defense of Serbia has remained silent regarding this incident until today’s announcement. Notably, the attack has not been formally reported to the Information Commissioner, suggesting a deliberate attempt to manage the disclosure of sensitive information.
The implications of this intrusion into Serbian military systems are currently under investigation. The involvement of this particular russian group raises serious concerns about cybersecurity vulnerabilities within Serbian defense establishments.
